To make that kind of overtime you dont sleep, you dont eat, and you never went home. People want answers, he said. How did that happen? Did it happen? Otherwise, what system did you have in place?

Pazmino who has worked for the railroad since 1985 made the extra moolah by putting in for 4,157 hours of overtime, along with 1,688 hours he worked at his regular $35-an-hour rate, the MTA revealed Monday.
That works out to an average of 22.4 hours a day from Monday to Friday or 16 hours a day, 365 days in the year.
The MTA couldnt say how many hours Pazmino had logged in a single shift but noted weekend tours can last up to 55 hours during an outage.
Federal laws limit the number of consecutive hours train crews and dispatchers can work, but dont apply to track maintenance workers, according to a spokesman for the Federal Railroad Administration.
